Red Wings, Rochester's Baseball Team

The Rochester Red Wings baseball team is the crown jewel of the city’s professional-sports offerings. The Triple-A , International League affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, the “Wings” have been owned by their own fans since 1957, after Rochester businessman Morrie Silver mounted a community campaign to buy the team and its stadium. The Red Wings have played in Rochester since 1899 and are now the oldest minor-league team in the history of professional sports.
